    The Torre dell'Alto, or more precisely of Santa Maria dell'Alto, is a lookout tower built in 1569, it communicated to the north with Torre Uluzzo and to the south with Torre Santa Caterina. It was built by the Neretine architect Angelo Spalletta at the request of Philip II, son of Charles V, who wanted it to be built in order to fortify the coast. The tower, characterized by a height of 14 m, stands on a rocky spur about 50 m above sea level. This spike is called "Goat Jump". From the slopes of the tower you can see a truly breathtaking view.
